    Excitation Mass
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a rigid body of mass M sliding vertically within a frictionless prismatic pair, connected to a spring and damper, while a point mass m rotates at a constant speed on a circular path. Participants suggest visualizing the system's behavior to understand the relationship between vertical displacements and rotational dynamics. The influence of the rotating mass on the overall mechanism is compared to a washing machine model, highlighting the complexity introduced by the eccentric mass. Key equations of motion are sought, particularly regarding the effects of centrifugal force based on the mass's angular position. The conversation emphasizes the need for a clear understanding of how these forces interact within the system.

Homework Statement


A rigid body of mass M slides vertically inside a friction-less prismatic pair. It is linked to the fixed frame through the spring of stiffness k, and a viscous damper with coefficient c. Beside the body, a point mass m rotates with constant speed w(omega) on a circular trajectory of radius r.(mass M also includes the point mass m)

Homework Equations


I don't know how to be with point mass. How to related vertical displacements with rotational? Can anyone suggest something..?

Examples this type of problem are to be found in many textbooks .

If you want to solve the problem yourself start by visualising the problem . When the eccentric mass is going around what do you expect to see the whole mechanism doing ?

It is like washing machines model. If there was no rotating small mass, it would be much easier. How I realized it, as Ψ=Ωt and if Ψ is equal to Π/2, then centrifugal force Fc = mΩ2/r directed to upward. And if Ψ is -Π/2 it is downward. But how to be with equation of motion?
